Hotel Aurora

Merano (Meran)


This traditional family hotel, just across the river from the Terme, works some fresh ideas. 'New' rooms are Italian designed, bright and slick, but the parquetry-floored '60s to '80s originals have their own vintage charm, along with some river-facing balconies. The corridors, too, are littered with original but pristine midcentury pieces. Service is attentive and kind.
